Pink and black challenge--(Scroll down for Cricut Cake chef's hat give away)

Robyn, My Pink Stamper, is housebound due to snow and ice, so she is issuing some challenges.  The first one was to use your favorite color with black.  So, of course, my pedestal card is pink and black!!!  I didn't photograph the inside because it would give away who the card is for!!!  I used a new stamp I purchased at CHA by Loralie Harris. I colored it with Copic markers. I have used Loralie's embroidery designs for a couple of years and this year she came out with rubber stamps!!!   Isn't she cute???  Her name is party girl!  I met Loralie herself at CHA and what a doll she is!!!  You might want to check out her website for her card kits and stamps at http://www.loraliedesigns.com/. I also used a stamp from Robyn's new stamp set.  It says "So Super Sweet"!!  The bling and ribbon were purchased from CHA, as was the Pink Pizzaz embossing powder.  Embossing powder is from Sprinkle and Sparkle.  Loved their booth!  I love comments!!!  Thanks for looking!

Blessings and Hugs!!

My Pink Stamper Challenge

My Pink Stamper issued a challenge on her blog.  The challenge was to create a project for someone you like or love.  I created this project for some dear friends of ours.  Their last name is "Bell".  Even though this project may appear to be made of leather products, it is made entirely of paper.  The letter were cut from the Storybook cartridge.  The layers were embossed using the Cuttlebug.  Shadows and layers were cut from Core-dinations cardstock.  Brown letters cut from Bazill cardstock.  The background paper that looks like leather is from Michaels open stock paper.

Here's a closer pic:

Thanks for looking!  It felt good to create something.  DH and I have both been really sick the last two weeks and with the holidays on top of it, I hadn't done any creating at all.  I'm still not back to normal, but was good enough to play a little today!
